Sobre este artículo
New York, NY : G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1973 G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York. 1973. Hardcover. Stated First American Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for F/O name on the FFFP. Book Condition: Very Good; light bumping to tail and one lower tip; small sunfade area at head. DJ: Very Good; NOT Price Clipped ($10.00); light bumping to head and tail; small closed tear at head. Brown cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 427 pp 8vo. Based on new material, this is the first modern, non-religious biography of David Livingstone. He is renown as a medical missionary who stayed in Africa for thirty years, but he was also a geographer, astronomer, ethnologist, anthropologist, chemist, botanist, the discoverer of the Victoria Falls, the source of the Congo River, and the first European to cross the continent of Africa. This book sorts through the hype and the myths and shows the person he really was and that his major historical impact was in colonial politics and the establishment of British imperial power in Africa. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
